Dorian’s ebony colored hair draped over his shoulders in waves. His long claws clutched the glass tightly in his hand. He looked every bit the part of a commander.

“You’re welcome. So, tell me all about you and your position. I’ve been told bits and pieces by Ryland, but he suggested I ask you personally.”

Mercurio twisted his lips and drank a good amount from the bottle. He hissed, feeling the small burn travel down his throat. “I see. I agree that you should’ve come to the source first. Ryland and I don’t know much about one another.”

“Yes, but forgive me for being shy.”

“You?” Mercurio said incredulous. “Vampires are never shy.”

Hope you enjoyed. Here is the cover, blurb, and link for Mercurio’s Mating!

Every being, wretched or not deserves love… Commitment

Though Mercurio assisted Valios and newly fallen angel, Calisto with the birth of their babies, he hasn’t been selected as the Head Keeper. After some egregious errors, Valios doesn’t trust him thus relinquishing two of Mercurio’s most important powers. Despite losing his confidence but continues to be Valios’ loyal servant.

Dorian is a new Soul Catcher, brought over by vampire Ryland. Although a hot commodity in The Realm, he has no desire to be paired with another bloodsucker. Instead, he’s got his eyes set on Mercurio and will do anything to get him.

Though Mercurio is attracted to Dorian, he doesn’t want a relationship. Calisto has been a good friend. Why not take advantage of the vulnerable fallen?

That wayward thinking could cost Nouvelle’s resident historian his life. Can Dorian convince the snake shifter he’d be making a huge mistake?

This is the final book in the Immortals series. All books must be read in order.
